How much would an A8 6600k Bottleneck an AMD Radeon R9 290x?

My current PU is an AMD A8 6600k running at 4.0GHz and I just want to know if and/or how much it would bottleneck an AMD Radeon R9 290x GPU.

not very much, you might not even notice it in most games

Your CPU will bottleneck that card a lot.

Any cpu intensive game will be bottlenecked a lot by your CPU.

The best A10 would be bottlenecked by a 280x.

Has you can see here even the FX 8370 bottlenecks anything higher than the HD R9 285
